Saw Iron Man last night and I'm obsessed with it now. I'm probably going to see it again Saturday or Sunday...and then a few times after that.

I'm not as into the comics as I'd like to be ($$$ issues) but I'm extremely curious to learn all the nods and similarities to the comics that were in this movie as there seem to be many and what better place than here to find them all.

Thusly, I have created this thread for comment, discussion, and listing of all those sweet little comic nods.

So lets get this rolling...Iron Man was Tony Stark's "bodyguard" for quite sometime in the comics...when did that stop and how?
